Southern California is bracing for powerful Santa Ana winds, with gusts reaching up to 70 mph expected to complicate firefighting efforts against destructive blazes that have already claimed 16 lives and destroyed over 12,000 structures. The winds, which are forecasted to return after a brief calm, may force thousands more residents to evacuate, as fire-danger conditions will affect more than 7.7 million people in the region. Authorities are on high alert, and federal support mobilization has been initiated.
